part of me wants to say dude, this is a wasted exercise. in terms of non album tracks, it’s turds almost all the way down. the ones you know are the only thing that will save you (maybe). just do the complete greatest hits & save your sanity.

True Mad Puffin. Something about Walsh's presence, especially when he's on lead guitar, gives even a ripoff like "Tryin' to Live My Life Without You" a solid identity.

Dude really is an astonishingly complete musician, which is the cherry on top of him being a refreshingly weird person (at least as far as one can tell from documentaries and interviews).

Frey and Henley's call-and-response bits in "I Can't Tell You Why" are their tenderest moment.

DON: It's been great having Deacon out on the road with us these past few years, as we've brought on a new multi-generational dimension to the Hotel California album on sold-out concert stages around the world. As much as I'd have liked to continue this work in the studio, I completely respect young Mr. Frey's decision to build on our foundation alone, making his own unique and special music.
GLENN: Glenn Lewis Frey didn't raise no fools! My boy knows that: (A) real estate is King; (B) if she says she's 18, she's 15; (C) when in doubt, add a sax solo; and above all, (D) there's much more to life than spending six months in the studio punching in syllables with this asshole!
DON: Well, yeah.

Nah, if they learned anything from Henley, they know how to take care of this. (at 1:41:45) "STAY OUT OF THIS! This is PERSONAL! And it's PRIVATE! Real, fucking, PRIVATE!"

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Curator Charged Over $1M Worth of Stolen Eagles LyricsCraig Inciardi, Glenn Horowitz, and Edward Kosinski are all accused of being involved in a conspiracy that sought to peddle nearly 100 pages of Don Henley’s handwritten notes and lyrics from ‘Hotel California’ and ‘Life in the Fast Lane’ to potential buyers.

100 pages of handwritten notes, circa. 1976.
- Toilet paper should be rolled toward the user, to display the design.
- Sunken living rooms should be no more than three feet deep, to preserve sight distance.
- Avacados vary too much in hue to be the standardized name for a certain color of refrigerator. "Philodendron" is a more appropriate name.
